Silver & Gold Cross Necklaces |
Then there are the more delicate simple crosses and
crucifixes given as gifts
for religious events, birthdays, or holidays. Typically these are in gold or
silver. I remember getting a silver cross
for my 16th birthday as my first real piece of jewelry. Tiny gold, silver, or steel crosses
are also available as an ear
piercing option. The gift
options also include crosses embellished with birthstones for birthdays or
diamonds for anniversary gifts. These
faceted stone crosses are most prevalent in necklaces but are also available as
earrings, bracelets, and anklets depending on where you shop. Multi-color stone jewelry is now in fashion
so crosses with more than one color on them are available on many shopping
channels.
Cross, crucifix, and fish jewelry originally started as a symbol of Christian
faith. Cross jewelry has a long history
of design, symbolism, and popularity. Embellished and
various types of crosses were usually worn by officials of the Church or royalty. Other citizens might have a plain or craved cross
made of metal, stone, shell, or wood. Now
anyone can proudly wear their cross as a symbol of their faith or as a fashion
statement reflecting their personal style.
Other religious jewelry includes Catholic saint medals
and rosaries,
as well as Jewish
stars and symbols.
